doesn't look much like the zg brake to me, but if you are going to redesign your brake caliper i would think that you caould do something more inventive - i know this pulls out some of the weight, but it's still a good deal heavier then m5, zg and ax. i would be interested to know how the arms stiffness is...

If the CN article is true, then Campy used testing to determine where to remove material. They certainly weren't following ZG. It's not as if ZG has cornered the brake market. AND trussed designs--space frames et al--have been around a lot longer than ZG. Couple that with the fact that Campy's brakes are forged......and the idea that Campy copied ZG just falls flat on its face.

Campagnolo didn't steal anything, and they were certainly not creative, they just made their brakes a whole lot uglier. I was thinking of getting these new lighter rbeaks before i saw what they looked like, and now there is no chance I will buy campagnolo breaks.

Hmmm... I think they mainly look like brakes, and except from making something like road disc brakes, I don't see how you can be very original, inovative and renewing whitout having similarities with other brands. I see a few more similarities with the Mavic brakes, but never saw them as a ZG copy (what is a quite different concept imho).

When I saw the SRAM brakes, I thought they looked a lot like the Mavics as well... and the SRAM shifters, can those be called original, or just amix between Shimano and Campa? You can't blame these manufacturers of not totally renewing a proven good concept!

With a brake pad on each side, damb campy is just another copy-cat. I also hate how they articulate on a pivot and squeeze the rim. You want to revolutionize brakes, get a big leather pad that drops in the middle and rubs on the tire surface.
